to give a professionals perspective:
the only thing that really has an impact on usability in this
case is the [n] keyboard shortcut vs the [w] one GIMP uses.
the rest is the same (enough) to sail through a usability test.
this is really small fry. the stuff you find in the appendix
of a usability test or expert evaluation report. for instance
2 orders of magnitude more serious is gtk's (?) insistence to
show gnome file dialogs on non-gnome UI platforms.
now that is a tragedy...
